- Boyz II Men, Hanson, and KT Tunstall among lineup for 2025
- Dining packages with guaranteed seating go on sale 16 July
EPCOT's 'Eat to the Beat' concert series, a staple of the annual International Food & Wine Festival, has a lineup stuffed with returning favourites and some new appearances.
The 2025 lineup was confirmed this week (see the full list below). The concert series will run from August 29 through November 16 at the America Gardens Theatre, with dozens of acts set to take the stage.
Eat to the Beat runs through most of the International Food & Wine Festival, which happens between 22 August and 22 November. The concerts take place at the open-air stage at the America Gardens Theatre (opposite the Regal Eagle Smokehouse).
This year sees returning favourites like Boyz II Men, Smash Mouth, and Hanson, plus new additions such as KT Tunstall, The Wanted 2.0, and Jordin Sparks.
Each night of the series, a musical act performs for EPCOT guests.
The concerts are included with regular park admission and run multiple times per day, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis.
For those who prefer to skip the queue, Disney is offering Festival Concert Series Dining Packages that bundle a table-service meal with reserved concert seating.
Each package includes an entrée, dessert, and a non-alcoholic drink or a wine/beer for guests 21+, depending on the restaurant. Check out the details, booking for dining packages opens July 16.
If you're visiting EPCOT during the Food & Wine Festival window, these concerts are a great way to cap off an evening of international bites and sips. With the dining package, it’s also a good way to guarantee a seat for your favorite nostalgic act.
